Anderson Infrastructure

183S Bergstrom Expressway, Austin, Texas US 183 South corridor from US290 to SH71 has long been identified as a heavily congested corridor in need of solutions. In August CTRMA selected Colorado River Constructors to design and construct managed lanes to mitigate congestion. Mr. Anderson serves as CTRMA’s Utility Manager responsible for all aspects of oversight of the design-build firm’s utility coordination, design and construction efforts.  Design efforts began in September 2015.

Chevron-Cabinda, West Angola, Africa Chevron contracted with CB&I to engineer, procure, fabricate, and construct a gas processing and treating complex at an existing storage facility in West Angola, Africa. Mr. Anderson managed all utility SUE investigations and was responsible for the procurement and mobilization of all equipment and materials to be used on the project. He staffed the project and coordinated SUE for utilities impacted by the plant expansion. Due to the great number of non-tonable pipelines at the plant, utility investigations were performed by means of radio detection, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and testhole excavation. The utility information collected was used by CB&I’s designers for the placement of the plant’s drilled shafts and infrastructure required for the new structures. Mr. Anderson also provided on-site training of Chevron plant staff on the operation of utility detection equipment. The work was performed and delivered to the client ahead of time on this fast-tracked, aggressive project schedule.

SR 125 Otay River Project, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), San Diego, California  As the water and wastewater relocation specialist for this design-build private toll facility, Mr. Anderson was responsible for locating existing water and wastewater lines through Quality Level A and B SUE methods to determine if the lines could remain in place or required relocation. Mr. Anderson worked with the roadway and bridge designers in evaluating and selecting the most expeditious and economically feasible method of handling each facility. Through these efforts, Mr. Anderson cut six months off the utility schedule by eliminating temporary construction phasing for waterlines

SH 130 Segments 1, 2, 3, and 4, Austin, Texas. The SH 130 project included the development of approximately 50 miles of new turnpike that crossed 32 farm-to-market and county roads from IH 35 north of Georgetown to US 183 at Mustang Ridge. As the utility manager, Mr. Anderson was responsible for mapping SUE investigations, utility coordination, design, easement acquisition, construction, and inspection of 1.5 million feet of utilities on this design-build toll project. He coordinated with 52 separate utility owners for the adjustment of over 600 utility facilities, including 14 electrical transmission adjustments for Oncor, Austin Energy and LCRA. Mr. Anderson developed designs, estimates and schedules for 160 utility assemblies for approximately $75 million in utility relocations. This turn-key utility effort by a developer was the first of its kind under TxDOT. All utilities were adjusted without delays to the roadway construction. In 2007, the project received the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Outstanding Utility Achievement Award for exceptional accomplishments for utility innovation.
